Lift weights.
Here are 7 ways building muscle adds years to your life (backed by science): 🧵

Here are 7 ways building muscle adds years to your life (backed by science): 🧵
Most people lift weights to look good.
But science shows strength training is actually one of the most powerful tools for longevity.
Building muscle improves your health at the cellular level and extends lifespan.
Here's how:

Building muscle improves your health at the cellular level and extends lifespan.
Here's how:
1. Lowers risk of dying early
A 2022 study found that anyone who lifts weights has a 9% lower chance of dying from all causes:
• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Cancer
• and more...
When adding cardio, that number jumps to 40%.

A Stanford neuroscientist warns high cortisol wrecks memory, enlarges your fear center, and make your brain feel broken.
If I wanted to fix it naturally, I'd do these 8 things every day:
1. Walk barefoot on grass for 5–7 minutes.
If I wanted to fix it naturally, I'd do these 8 things every day:
1. Walk barefoot on grass for 5–7 minutes.
Your feet contain ~200,000 nerve endings.
When they touch grass, soil, or sand, your brain receives a flood of sensory information from the body.
That sensory input pulls attention out of rumination and back into physical awareness.
Direct contact with the earth lowers cortisol and reduce stress-related inflammation markers.
That’s why barefoot walking can feel so regulating.

2. Get sunlight in first 30 minutes upon awakening.
Cortisol naturally spikes 30-60 min after waking — to fuel the day.
Without morning light, the spike never crashes. It stays elevated by 2 PM.
Your brain is bathing in cortisol it should've cleared hours ago.

Pull Up Strength is an indicator for health and longevity.
But most people can't even do one.
60 year old client Mike is doing pull ups for the first time in 18 years.
Here's how you can go from zero to pumping out pull ups for fun:

The pull-up remains a fantastic indicator of strength, health, and longevity.
Most people can't do a single rep.
That changes today.

Pulls ups demonstrate muscular strength and develop...
▫️ Wide lats and thick traps
▫️ Developed biceps and rear delts
▫️ Narrow waist by contrast alone
But more importantly — they signal your body is functioning the way it should.
Strong back = long life.

Remember when Republicans spent months claiming protesters were “burning down cities”…
and one of the most infamous cases turned out to be a right-wing extremist?
Getting a little deja vu.

What if extreme longevity is less about avoiding aging and more about aging cleanly? (1/6)
Maria Branyas Morera lived to 117 -- the oldest verified person on Earth. A new multi-omics study in Cell Reports Medicine (Santos-Pujol, Esteller et al) profiled her genome, epigenome, proteome, metabolome, and microbiome.
What they found: (2/6)
What they found: (2/6)
- Biological age 23+ years younger across multiple epigenetic clocks. - Telomeres very short -- yet her cells behaved young. - Very low VLDL and triglycerides, high HDL. - Exceptionally low inflammation. (3/6)
So This Is Star Wars’ Future? via @YouTube
*A* future??
yeah, there are more(??)
1/ The Russian army's use of dazzle camouflage in an attempt to confuse Ukrainian drones is unlikely to succeed, according to sceptical Russian warbloggers. They point out that it's not the First World War, and trucks on roads aren't ships at sea. ⬇️
2/ Kirill Fedorov comments:
"Ukrainian channels published a photograph of a Russian Kamaz truck repainted in zebra camouflage. This was done to confuse American Hornet UAVs, which have AI-assisted final-track lock-on.

3/ "However, if the drone is controlled manually, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a Hornet, repainting it won't help. In that case, it could serve as a temporary solution. Long-term, road protection and an interceptor system are needed."
Okay Documentary Twitter. Another weekend to get ten YouTube Documentaries.
A thread.

1. On the heights of despair by Horses. Not a documentary per say, but it will help many people.
2. Elon Musk: A predictable tragedy by Barry economics.
I prefer him to the Diary of a CEO because Barry is real.

Jan 2021 was way worse than what we just had.
In Jan 2021, the most shorted stocks went up ~55% as a basket in 3 weeks. 18%/week moves. And very important: this happened while the general market was flat.
In their recent jump, the most shorted stocks went up ~35% as a basket in 8 weeks. 4.5%/week moves vs the above 18%/week. And this happened while the general market was up 19%. Really, that's just in line with the beta - it's just what you'd expect the short term moves to be.
A small counterargument is that breadth was weak in the last couple of months, with $RSP only up 10%. If someone has no exposure to AI stocks, and they were short lots of junk, they probably made nothing on longs and lost big on shorts. They had plenty of time to risk manage, vs Jan 2021 where the gap ups were extreme.

Thinking on this, I guess that's the factor that just blew out, right?
That was the bet.
Long 150% $RSP
Short 10% $SOXX (Negating $RSP's exposure to AI)
Short 30% most short
Those guys lost bad.
That was the bet.
Long 150% $RSP
Short 10% $SOXX (Negating $RSP's exposure to AI)
Short 30% most short
Those guys lost bad.
With that dummy portfolio positioning, $RSP made 15%. Short $SOXX lost 7.5%. Short 30% most short lost 10%. Overall loss 2.5%.
My rough real portfolio was:
240% long $RSP / $VEU, which should have won 24%. I did considerably worse, only making 16%. Outlier loser Hikari Tsushin was a few percent of that.
$VEU traded a lot like $RSP, which I have lots of exposure to.
160% short junky stocks, which should have lost 30%+ looking at $IWM. I did *way* better.
Since April 1st I lost 6.5% before fees (5% including fees).

You don' say “should” because you lack discipline.
You say “should” because some part of you learned that obedience was safer than desire.
The problem is not the word.
The problem is the self that had to disappear beneath it when you were young.
Now, as an adult, you say it automatically and think it's the way life is.

2. The false self
You built a version of yourself that performs well, responds quickly, stays agreeable, and gets things done.
But the body knows when your life is being lived from compliance vs. real joy.
Anxiety is often the cost of abandoning your true self.
